When do you read?
I read for a living. About 3-4 hours per day — depending on how long the day has been, and how much I’ve been writing and editing. The rest is a blur of randomness, usually with another book sitting beside me on the coffee table. Occasionally, I’ll dip into a book of photos, or pick up the latest issue of a magazine. I’ve written about a book or two this year, because I’ve gotten more comfortable doing so. But for the most part, I only read when I have time, and sometimes I feel like there are not too many novels to choose from. To fill the rest, I read articles online, books on Amazon, or reviews.
If I’m driving, I’ll typically be taking a drive down a street, and stop at the library.
